WELCOME TO COLL HOTEL
WE ARE OPEN AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU…
Three generations of the Oliphant family have poured their heart and soul into the Coll Hotel since the 1960s. This dedication has not gone unnoticed. The Coll Hotel was recently awarded Gold status for exceeding expectations in all areas of the business by VisitScotland and also ‘Best Hotel Experience Under 20 Rooms’ and ‘Best Eatery Experience’ at the 2022 Highlands & Islands Tourism Awards. The Coll Hotel also retained the ‘Scottish Casual Dining Restaurant of the Year’ at the 2022 SLTN Awards for the third year running. It was also awarded ‘Scottish Island Hotel of the Year’ two years running by Hotel Review Scotland and received the prestigious ‘Flavour of Scotland Thistle Award’.
In addition to award-winning, fresh homecooking and tastefully furnished ensuite bedrooms, the Coll Hotel Bar is the lively hub of a lovely Hebridean island.
Lunch is served 12-2pm and Dinner from 6-8.30pm.

EAT
TASTE THE BEST OF SCOTLAND’S LARDER WITH AN EMPHASIS ON FRESH, SEASONAL, LOCAL PRODUCE.
The Coll Hotel has built up a reputation for delicious, freshly caught seafood. All of our lobster, crab, langoustine and squat lobster are creel caught off Coll by local fishing boats and then delivered straight to our kitchen door. Hand dived scallops come from the Isle of Mull. Fresh fish caught in our local waters and landed in Oban is supplied by Watt’s fishmongers. Smoked fish comes from the Tobermory Fish Company.
Coll reared Hebridean lamb from Fiona Kennedy of Cloiche Farm appears on our specials board from time to time. Heather & Tom Davis and Fra & Brian Macintyre from Toraston Farm supply us with Coll reared, grass fed lamb. We source our venison from Winston Churchill in Argyll.
We use as much local salad and vegetables as is seasonally available, grown for us by Moira & Brian at Arileod Farm on Coll.
Our chutney, marmalade, pickles and jam are made on Coll by Margaret. We source seaweed chutney from the Isle of Mull.
Most of our breads and ice creams, and all of our spaghetti and desserts are made at the hotel. Our cheeseboard is from Isle of Mull Cheese and George Mewes Cheese and our oatcakes, cheese biscuits and biscuits for our hospitality trays are from the Island Bakery on the Isle of Mull. Gluten free bread and homemade gluten free focaccia are available.
When taking meal bookings for more than 6 people we will now take a £10 per person, non-refundable, deposit at time of booking. This payment will be allocated to your booking and will appear as a credit on your bill. Please call the hotel to make your reservation.

COLL, A DARK SKY COMMUNITY
THE ISLE OF COLL HAS PROUDLY HELD THE PRIZED IDA STATUS OF A ‘DARK SKY COMMUNITY‘ FOR OVER 10 YEARS.
With no street lights and little outside lighting there is virtually no light pollution. This creates the perfect environment for enjoying our night sky.
We have stargazing material in our residence lounge, we also have Coll and the Cosmos visit Coll in the spring and autumn. Although the courses are linked with our Community Centre and Bunkhouse, hotel guests are most welcome to sign up to the course.
For those wishing to explore our dark sky independently there are many apps and websites which can help get the best experience.
For us at the hotel, just head outside, let your eyes adjust and the constellations, stars, planets, Milky Way and if you’re lucky some Northern lights. Our sky will blow your mind and stop you in your tracks.
We have special winter rates that include dinner to make a visit affordable to most.
The majority of stargazing bookings are made just a week before when clear skies are more probable, so keep an eye on the weather and we look forward to welcoming you for a winter visit.
SPECIAL OFFERS
“If peace, quiet and an appreciation of the best from nature’s larder are what you are in need of, this could be your ideal island hotel.”
